Conditions at Krishna River in August
August: Monsoon Magic Windows
August starts to turn the corner. Average swell is still 1.2m (4ft) and the average period rises to 9.5s, the highest of the year. S swell accounts for 44 percent, SSE 23 percent and SSW 20 percent, with plenty of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) energy and some 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) pulses. More importantly, the wind regime begins to shift: WSW and W winds combine for nearly 60 percent of the total, and ideal offshore wind frequency doubles to 19 percent. The S and SSW onshore flow is much less dominant than in May through July. This makes August one of the better monsoon months for sneaking in clean sessions between rain bands. Water temperature is 29°C, and while rainfall is maxed at around 4.9mm/day, the tropical downpours can flatten the wind and smooth the surface for a short window.
